IMPRGVEMBNT IN wHEL-BARRQW.

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: i

Be it known that I, WLLIAM F. NEWGOME, of Cleveland, county of Cuyahoga', in the Stnte of Ohio, have nv'ented a. new and improved Mode of Contructing Wheel-Barrows for wheeling bricks, 8:0.; .and `I do hereby declare that the following is a full and 'exact description thereof, .reference beingr had to the accompunying drawingsr, und to'the letters of reference marked thereon. i

The nature of iny invention' consists in applying 'an 'iron arch or bridge over a'nd down each side of the wheel-harrow-wheel to the bottom, and under it to the side-pieces, and threfastened, which supports` the bottom and strengthens the whole front part of the barrow', and enubles me to set the wheel at or near thecentr'e of the load.

To enable others skilled in the art to use my invention, I herein describe the construction und operation. I make the main part of the ivheel-barrow os usuellyimade, but to enable. me to get the n'heel back near the centre of the load, I make e'space in the bottom,'and part way up the front end, for the wheelito run in,

leaving room'for a. tier of bricks on each side ofithe wheel2 and to support the bottomlinstead of putting a. cross'bar under the front end, which would have tobe cut away to'admit the wheelz leaving the front end of lthe bottom without support. I make an iron bridge or'airch, as show-n in Figure 4; the arch, m, being bolted to the cross-bar g, as shown in Figure. 3, and running down each side of 'the wheel, and underJ the bottorn to the sides at g, und there fastened, thus supporting the bottom, and strengthening the wholefrontpart of the wheelbarrow.

What I elaim asmy invention, and desirc to secure by Letters Patent, is-- The application of the iron bridge, to strengthen the fronty part of 8, wheel-bnrrow, substontally :rs-shown and described. I o
